Club Tijuana vs Pumas UNAM: Storylines and Head-To-Head

Tijuana aren’t having a great moment right now and some off-field antics could have a big impact on their performance this Friday. One of their forwards, Bryan Angulo, was involved in a fight in Ecuador during the holidays and that could create a lot of problems for the player and the team. 

Andrés Lillini is starting a new season with Pumas, where he expects to take this team to the promised land. Last year, they were so close but nobody could stop León from reaching the glory. This campaign will be very important for them and Pumas will try to start things well from the very beginning. 

These two sides have met each other 18 times, with Club Tijuana winning 8 games, Pumas winning 6 and tying 4.
